Tata Global Beverages is a global non-alcoholic beverages company headquartered in Kolkata, India. It was founded in 1964 as a joint venture between Tata and UK-based Finlay Group. In 2012, Tata Global Beverages formed a joint venture with Starbucks to sell ready-to-drink coffee and tea under the brand 'Tata Starbucks' across 10-12 locations in India, allowing both companies to diversify and tap the growing Indian market. This move was a strategic diversification for Tata Global Beverages away from solely tea and coffee brands into cafes, helping differentiate it from competitors like HUL.
